Is dual booting an option? That will give them the comfort of XP to fall back on while learning something new.<br><br><br><br><br>Sent from my ASUS Pad<br><br>basic2point0@gmail.com wrote:<br><br><div data-externalstyle="false" dir="ltr" style="font-family:Calibri,'Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Microsoft JhengHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Khmer UI','Nirmala UI',Tunga,'Lao UI',Ebrima,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><div> </div><div data-signatureblock="true">My parents have a PC that is a few years old.

Steam is looking pretty good on Linux, especially for the games my dad likes. There’s obviously plenty of games available that my mom would like. I just need to make the transition as easy as possible for them, since they don’t take change very well. I’m thinking Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop, since its pretty similar to Windows. Any suggestions?</div></div>
